Rated 2 out of 5 by Stack666 from Great product, bad changesI run a landscaping company for a private island. We use only Stihl equipment. For the last 8 years ive used these stihl hedger to professionally trim mangroves each year. Im very unhappy with the change to the new "white and Orange" hedger heads. I have been running the composite metal hedger heads for many many years, they are repairable and always perform great. These new White and orange heads are junk. Ive bought 4 in the past 2 months and each one has broken within the week I got them, Ive resorted to buying used Hedger heads on Craigslist and Ebay because you and your local dealers no longer carry any of the old still Hedger heads nor do they carry a complete hedger with the original style hedger head on it. Very unsatisfied with the change. Im a professional mangrove trimmer for a private island in Florida

Rated 5 out of 5 by Butcher4428 from Like cutting butterThe HL-KM 0 Straight Hedge Trimmer performed flawlessly. I was quoted an exuberant amount of money to trim my 7 over grown holly bushes, some are over 16 feet in circumference. I was able to trim them all in a few hours and thanks to Stihl and there KombiMotor system with the Straight Hedge Trimmer I saved money and improved my curb appeal drastically, thank you.

Rated 2 out of 5 by glwsr from Machine ratio of power source to the cutter I feel not correct.Not satisfied with the cutting ability, seems like it I just have to stay in the same area to get satisfied results. Still have some more trimming to do and hopefully I will learn more on how to use it. Since I have used it we are not the type of people to use something then return it; but in reality, I should have returned it surely after the first hour or tow.

Rated 5 out of 5 by WING60 from QUALITY QUALITY QUALITYPURCHASED THIS ITEM FROM TAYLORS DO IT YOUR SELF. I HAVE A 8FT HEDGE THAT I LOWERED TO 6FT. LOVE IT. I PURCHASED IT FOR THE EXTENDED REACH, THE ECHO UNIT I HAD ONLY REACHED 24. GREAT ITEM. NOW I LOOK FOWARD TO SHAPING MY HEDGES TWICE A YEAR VICE EVERY 2 YEARS. A LITTLE PRICY BUT WORTH THE MONEY.
